Stephen Abootman's plot to exact revenge on the world for Canadian disrespect has taken a new sartorial form. At left is the fruitcake-inspired monstrosity that Don Cherry wore on Saturday's Hockey Night in Canadia. At right are the newly revealed Canadian Olympic uniforms, which are equal parts Zubaz and Strawberry Shortcake acid-fueled nightmares.

Then again, the uniforms were designed by the Chinese and the Canadians were probably just happy to have something other than a maple leaf, a fur hat and hockey skates to wear. Hell, for them, it's a garment finally fine enough to be gay married in.

Don Cherry's jacket is actually floral. Question is,; more or less gay than fruit?

you will never meet a finer ambassador of the great game of hockey than Don Cherry. He knew Bobby Orr, for christs sake.

Are the Chinese designing every country's uniforms? Man, i hope they give the Germans pickelhaube helmets.

Somewhere, Craig Sager is heard laughing hysterically.

Don Cherry's suit was inspired by the carpet at the Isle of Capri casino in Biloxi, Mississippi

Is that the Canadian Olympic team, or the White Stripes new back up dancers?

I thought Canadia declared that war long ago. Didn't we burn Fashion's White House or something? Still, I think making the maple leaf more communist like is a good move.

What's with the Poutines tags? Is that Québec's poutine or Acadian's poutine ( same as cajun poutine, for obvious reason ).

Several Canadian athletes have declined to compete in the 2008 Beijing olympics. When asked if it had anything to do with the Tibetan detente, Canadian track star Simon Fraser answered: "Have you seen our uniforms? They're fucking gay."

I'll tell ya one thing, boys. It takes a pretty straight man to pull off a suit that gay. You rawk, Grapes.

@ Grimey: Awesome avatar. I love that little beauty myself.

russ, as a Canadian, I must say your stance on Cherry is about as fucking senile as he is. The topics are always the same, grumpy ol man, "this is how we did it in my day" bullshit and the only thing that changes on that show anymore are his fucking suits that i'm pretty sure he can't even see anymore due to the cataracts and Maclean's hair colour. Everything else is just the same as I remember it from when I was 8.

alright.. well puncuation and proof reading might've helped get my point across on that last post, but the bottom line is. CHERRY CAN LICK ME WHERE I SHIT.
